Obama will discuss way forward for Syria at G8 conference

WASHINGTON, June 14 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama will
discuss how to help Syria find ways to end its civil war during
the G8 conference in Northern Ireland next week, the White House
said on Friday.

The White House announced yesterday that it would provide
more military support to Syrian opposition forces fighting
President Bashar al-Assad after it said it had clearly
established evidence of the Syrian government's use of chemical
weapons, said Ben Rhodes, Obama's deputy national security
advisor.
